ID2Q Runarounds

InDesign’s Include Inside Edges turned on means Allow Holes and equals QuarkXPress’s OutSide Edges Only turned off.

In InDesign you can base the runaround on the bounding box since an object is a container with content whereas QuarkXPress does not handle objects this way. Therefore the  runaround should be Wrap Around Object Shape.

Text Wrap Above object is not supported. Also. Ignore Text Wrap is not supported, as well as some types of Invert Text Wrap.

A Runaround for a picture box might not cause the text underneath to flow as expected. This is because InDesign allows text to appear on both sides of the picture box.

Note also that a Runaround Offset for a Picture Rectangle will convert only as an Outset.

ID2Q Text Wrap on Multiple Layers

The new “Items with Run Around Specified” checkbox in the Conversion Options window does attempt to address the issues listed below, but using this feature will move items to a new layer in the newly created Quark file.

Text in InDesign set to Wrap around an object on another layer loses the Wrap/Runaround (when converted using ID2Q) unless the item is placed on the same layer.

Quark can only honor runaround if the text is below images. This includes whether text and images are on the same layer or whether text and images are on different layers. If on different layers, the text layer must be below any layers containing images for runaround to work in Quark.

What typically happens is that people mix text and images on multiple layers. In this case they will get mixed results and will have to move images manually from one layer to another in Quark and adjust the order of the layers in Quark in order to match the Text Wrap results in the original InDesign document.
